Luxurious Comfort
I have two of these blankets. Very warm with not much weight. I have had no piling problems at all. Very pleased and a greater value if purchased on sale. I consider these my " for life blankets ". I own many Eileen Fisher items such as her home goods, clothes, shoes and handbags.

Warm, lightweight blanket
I received this as a gift and am very pleased with it so far- I have yet to launder it. It keeps me warm without feeling too heavy. It is well made and large enough to be tucked in all around. If it is in your budget, I would suggest this item to anyone looking for a quality, comfortable,soft blanket.

Luxurious! but...
This blanket feels so soft and has this subtle, but rich weave that looks super folded over my comforter for a contrast (and with the blue ikat dot pillow (29565)that has tassels the exact color of this almost blanket). So pleased to have this warm and light blanket on my bed (especially with two feet of snow outside)! The only issue, as the other reviewer stated, is the shedding. This is not minor! I had gotten a second one to have that beautiful almost on my dark brown leather couch, but no way! My customer service questions suggested it might shed less with washing, but NOTE it is dry clean only (a bit of a hassle), and sheds so much that it took me 10 minutes to roll the fuzz off (literally) when all I had done is put it on the couch to check the color. Still keeping it for my bed. GREAT value on sale!

Status Item, Not Bedding
I was hoping that this would be the best blanket ever, but found it to be a piece of eye candy for those with money who want to casually say "Oh have you seen my blanket made of baby alpaca fur?!" In terms of performance, it was a huge letdown.
When it arrived earlier today, it looked so promising -- gorgeous color (Almond), remarkably soft texture. The artisanal weave is very thin however.
My husband immediately took a nap under it and complained repeatedly that it was woven too thin, and he was cold. I asked him on a scale of warmth (with 10 being the best) how it ranked as a blanket, and he said a 5 -- not very good.
Then he got up and complained bitterly that he was covered with loose fibers that had shed off the blanket.
Heartbroken, I am sending it back tomorrow. If you charge premium prices, you need to deliver a premium product.
In the case of a blanket, looking glamorous is desirable, but if the blanket cannot also perform as bedding, it has to go.

a great addition to our bed!
The blanket is just lovely. Soft, well made. I have been transitioning to only EF bedding and this makes a great addition.
